The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has denied conducting a poll to assess the performance of the Muhammadu Buhari-led government two years after coming into office.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, said on Wednesday that the report was false.
“The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to some false and misleading news reports that the party conducted a poll to assess the performances of President Muhammadu Buhari administration,” Abdullahi said in a statement made available to The Niche.
“For the record, the APC has not conducted or authorised any assessment poll on the President Buhari administration. The media and indeed the general public are advised to ignore the questionable poll.
“The twitter handle, “@APCNigeria” with which the so called “assessment poll” was purportedly conducted is not the official twitter account of the APC.
“Unfortunately, media organisations that published the story did not verify from the party’s publicity department the authenticity of the unauthorised poll credited to the Party.
“Recall that the party had on February 21, 2016 distanced itself from the twitter handle, “@APCNigeria” following a similar false report credited to the party on the outcome of the Benue South Senatorial rerun election.”
